About the product One of the most majestic and touching ancient Greek stories of friendship and love during the Trojan War, is becoming one of the most exciting novels of the 21st century. Rowling and Donna Tartt. Madeleine Miller, Master of Classical Philology, spent ten years honing every phrase to perfection, and as soon as the book was published in the United States, the very first reviewers were delighted with the excellent language in which the work was written. Now, thanks to the brilliant translation of Anastasia Zavozova, the Russian-speaking reader can also appreciate Miller’s unique style. The bright, colorful and fascinating world of ancient Greek myths captivates from the very first pages: here cruel gods play with the fate of mortals, insidious rulers weave their intrigues, great heroes perform feats, and a dark prophecy weighs on two young lovers, Patroclus and Achilles. The Song of Achilles is, on the one hand, a large-scale epic with a gripping plot and charismatic characters, and on the other, a touching and poetic story of true love, for which one can make any sacrifices. Annotation The story is told on behalf of Patroclus, the son of Menetius, who, after the accidental murder of a boy, was forced into exile as a child. So he gets to the court of Peleus in Phthia, where he meets the prince Achilles. A friendship is struck between the two young men, which gradually develops into love. This turns out to be extremely unhappy with the wayward and despotic mother of Achilles, the sea goddess Thetis. Now the two lovers will have to confront the cunning gods, each pursuing their own goals, the all-powerful rulers who are gradually drawing the Greek world into the Trojan War, and the inevitable fate in the form of a dark prophecy hanging over Achilles.
